CLEANING ROBOT AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR

A cleaning robot (100) and a control method therefor. The cleaning robot comprises: a chassis, a fluid applicator (1532), carried on the chassis, and used for distributing a cleaning fluid on at least a part of a cleaning width; a fluid storage device (1531), detachably connected to the chassis, the fluid storage device (1531) being communicated with the fluid applicator (1532) and configured to apply the cleaning fluid distributed by the fluid applicator (1532) to ground; an in-place sensor, provided in a groove (1533) for mounting the fluid storage device (1531) on the chassis, and used for detecting whether the fluid storage device (1531) is in place, and reporting an in-place state signal of the fluid storage device (1531) to a control system (130); and the control system (130), carried on the chassis, the control system (130) planning a cleaning path according to the in-position state signal of the fluid storage device (1531), and controlling, according to the cleaning path, the fluid applicator (1532) to distribute the cleaning fluid. The cleaning robot (100) provided by the present solution can work according to a preset forbidden area, thereby preventing secondary contamination, and improving user experience.
